Improvisation is a performance practice that animates and activates diverse energies of inspiration, critique, and invention. In recent years it has coalesced into an exciting and innovative new field of interdisciplinary scholarly inquiry, becoming a cornerstone of both practical and theoretical approaches to performance. The Improvisation Studies Reader draws together the works of key artists and thinkers from a range of disciplines, including theatre, music, literature, film, and dance. Divided by keywords into eight sections, this book bridges the gaps between these fields. The book includes case studies, exercises, graphic scores and poems in order to produce a teaching and research resource that identifies central themes in improvisation studies.

Bournonville's pas de deux from The Flower Festival in Genzano, an important example of the Romantic Ballet heritage, is brought to life through the use of Labanotation. This means of analysing works of dance preserves the choreography of its original form. Handed down over the years from person to person, the pas de deux has not always been danced in the true Bournonville tradition; now it can be danced in its original form and style. The publication of The Flower Festival in Genzano: Pas de Deux marks a first in making actual choreography available to students. Detailed information is provided in the Study and Performance Notes which are of great value to both students and dance researchers.

Rudolf Laban (1879–1958) was a pioneer in dance and movement, who found an extraordinary range of application for his ideas; from industry to drama, education and therapy. Laban believed that you can understand about human beings by observing how they move, and devised two complimentary methods of notating the shape and quality of movements. The Laban Sourcebook offers a comprehensive account of Laban's writings. It includes extracts from his five books in English and from his four works in German, written in the 1920s and translated here for the first time. This book draws on archival research in England and Germany to chart the development of Laban's groundbreaking ideas through a variety of documents, including letters, articles, transcripts of interviews, and his unpublished Effort and Recovery.
